Portfolio: Comedy Central Greenlights Sudeikis-Backed Comedy 'Detroiters'
Editor's Note: This piece was originally written for BestComedyTickets, where the goal was to generate traction through the comedy sphere and drive attention to their site. At the time, I was a young comic trying to find my voice in the scene. Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson were already making waves in sketch comedy, and I genuinely admired their work.

Portfolio: Interview with Comedian Sean White (2016)
This was one of my favorite interviews because it happened in person. Most of my interviews were conducted over the phone or through email. At the time, I was just an open mic comic and fledgling actor and I hadn’t even performed on a showcase in the city yet. Sean White was one of the veterans I looked up to and learned from. Sean took the time to recommend some books and gave me genuinely valuable insight into both comedy and the craft. I’m pretty sure I was the worst inte

Playing Call Of Duty During the Pandemic Days
During the pandemic, I found myself gaming again. Like a lot of people, it started with trying to reconnectwith friends, with fun, with some version of normal.

Spoiler: we’d get smoked.

What’s Next For The Dads Comedy
The Dads started in 2019 as a one-off improv bit at Grafenberg Theater where we played our dads. We didn’t even have a name yet — we just called it Best Worst Cantina Presents, after my production company. Back then, any sketch or improv show I produced went under that banner. It was less about branding and more about just getting on stage and making people laugh.

Ten Years of Bob Mazooka: How Black Squirrel Productions Gave Us a Place to Create
Ten years ago, a bunch of film-obsessed college students decided we weren’t going to wait around for permission to make movies. Our school, Augustana College, didn’t have a film program. There was no department, no resources, and no official path forward. What we did have were stories we wanted to tell and a deep need to create.
So, we made our own path. This is the story of Bob Mazooka.

Back to Performing: Feeling Sorry For Myself in 2021
Originally posted in 2021. Updated in 2025.
At the time, I was leaning toward a career pivot — I even entered a Master’s program thinking teaching might be the new path. But the creative bug never left.

NOW That's What I Call Shitty Music Vol.1
Welcome to an album from an alternate dimension where taste took a backseat and chaos held the aux cord. Now That’s What I Call Shitty Music Vol. 1 is a genre-bending mess of songs nobody asked for — and somehow, they still slap.

Reading The Soul Bird on Grafenberg TV: Where My Pandemic Show Began
In the very first episode of Storytime with Gary on Grafenberg TV, I read The Soul Bird by Michal Snunit — a beautifully simple book that manages to say something profound about emotions, memory, and what it means to be a person. It’s technically a children’s book, but like the best “kids” stories, it hits adults right in the chest.
